While I would never vote for a Communist like Zohran Mamdani, I can understand his appeal in large part because his two main rivals, Adams and Cuomo, are such brazen crooks and scumbags. Against this competition, Joseph Stalin could run for mayor in NYC and probably win--and for all we know, that may very well happen.

The reporter was honest. Good for her.

This:

Greco, who is Chinese, said the act was "a culture thing," a position her attorney supported in a statement to The City.

“I can see how this looks strange,” Greco's attorney, Steven Brill, told The City. “But I assure you that Winnie’s intent was purely innocent. In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude. Winnie is apologetic and embarrassed by any negative impression or confusion this may have caused.”

Is a bunch of crap.

If those that support this criminal shit are the ones constantly hyperventilating over things like communism, maybe that's exactly what we should given them in a slow coup response. I'd rather be governed by communists than a bloated shit for brains criminal pedophile rapist protector.

The Chinese culture of gift giving dates back to the days when gifts were offered to the Emperor and high ranking officials to curry favour.

Today in China it's called bribery and the sentence is about 15 years. All Chinese people know this.

True.
Greco is not in China. Greco is an adviser to the Mayor of NYC. She knew exactly what she was doing.

This lady has been in trouble before. She was indicted for this scam...

Prosecutors in New York indicted a half dozen people who allegedly used a straw donor scheme to steer tens of thousands of dollars in public matching funds to New York City Mayor Eric Adams' successful 2021 campaign.

“We allege a deliberate scheme to game the system in a blatant attempt to gain power," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement on Friday after the court filing was unsealed.

The scheme was organized by Teamsters' Director of Integrity. Yeah, you can't make this shit up.

The filing indicates Montgomery, a former inspector in the New York Police Department, was the mastermind of the scheme. He is currently listed as the director of integrity for the Teamsters Local 237, which represents municipal workers, according to the Associated Press.

6 charged in alleged straw donor scheme to benefit NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ campaign

The Manhattan District Attorney's office said the defendants used the scheme to get tens of thousands of dollars in matching fund to Adams' 2021 campaign.
